My experrience with plumbers indicates the plumber would have had to make multiple trips to get the new faucet exchanged/working. Plumbers do not arrive with two of every faucet on their truck for a homeowner to select from. I have seen plumbers get pretty peeved when they have to drive back and forth, especially if they bid a set price rather than hourly rate for the job. Now if I had hired a plumber hourly, my wallet would have to be in rocovery for a long time. Since I saved money and have a happy wife I can trade these commodities for a steam something or other latter, despite my being a bit hacked off about making multiple trips.

Gary..... > First the faucet handle simply broke off. ........ There's a moral to this sad tale. Call a plumber. Or are the good ones as rare as hen's teeth, the same as here in England? Mike
